HOUSING

KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.

Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? because of a good location
Personal comments:
they try to provide you housing as close to the school as possible and you usually live with an American student or with an Asian student. You hardly ever live with another European student.
